Impact Awards Now Open

Pro Bono has just called for nominations for Pro Bono Australia’s 2016 Impact 25 awards.

These awards are designed to recognise this year’s most influential people working to make the world a better place.

In our world, there are many dedicated people who work really hard for the benefit of their charity or NFP, usually for little to no recognition. Others have a higher profile, but work diligently, day in and day out, for their cause.

One of the 2015 Impact 25 Awards winners was Rosie Batty, tireless campaigner against domestic violence. There were more than 280 people nominated from a diverse range of professions and 13,000 votes were cast to select the winner.

To win, the nominee must embody the four core values sought: integrity, initiative, foresight and collaboration.

Who will you nominate?

Take a good look around at the people working with you. Consider your paid staff but also remember your volunteers. Rarely will any of these people be considered for an award despite their achievements. Impact 25 is the award that wants to change that; to bring attention to the people who deserve recognition.

You may nominate up to three people and be sure to include your reasons for the nomination.

Nominations close 14 November.
